That Shel Silverstein Book

Readin' That Shel Silverstein Book


I don't regret the hour I took
Readin' a Shel Silverstein book
I kept sayin' I have the time
Just one more rhyme

I don't regret the hour I took
Givin' that next page a look
All fun and mentally sound
You turn the page--wow! More poems found

I don't regret the hour I took
Had to put off dinner and cook
But as the pages turned
Oh no, my pizza burned!

I don't regret the hour I took
Stealin' time like a crook
I know I could've been at the zoo
Or better yet, with you

I don't regret the hour I took
Hiding in every cranny and nook
Did I hear a telephone ring
Nope, not a bell or whoopy fire engine thing

I don't regret the hour I took
Hey, he had me on the hook
It had all kinds of funny animals and such
Now how could I ever regret it much

No, I don't regret the hour I took
Readin' that Shel Silverstein book
